Before coming to Pembina he drove a freight stage
from the Northwest Angle to Stoney Mountain.

LOUIS BOUVETTE settled in Pembina, ND,
where his parents had lived.
He came to Pembina in 1879
Naturalized 1890 Cavalier, ND (see info below)

Severe drought occurred throughout the 1860s.
 As well, grasshoppers infested the settlement
and a scarlet fever outbreak in 1864 carried off
a large number of the population.
The settlement's crops were destroyed
each year between 1862 and 1865 and
again in 1868. The latter year also witnessed
the absence of small game near the settlement,
the failure of the buffalo hunt,
and the collapse of the fisheries.

QUESTIONS & NOTES:
When reading St Boniface Historical Society Documents:
1) There is some question about his Birth Date.
2) There is some confusion about whom he married.
